The Browns placed Owusu-Koramoah on the reserve/PUP list Friday.

Owusu-Koramoah sustained a serious neck injury last October against the Ravens. The linebacker's NFL future was called into question due to the nature of the injury, and while a move to the reserve/PUP list instead of a release is a sign that his playing days may not be over quite yet, he will be required to miss the entire 2026 season, per Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer.

With the Packers moving on from Brandon McManus, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Smack and Lucas Havrisik are the team's current kicking options.

Though Havrisik appeared in three regular-season games with the Packers in 2025, Smack is presumably the favorite to emerge as the team's top kicker after the team invested a sixth-round draft pick in the University of Florida product. While working behind Green Bay's offense, Smack should have have a chance to emerge as a fantasy streaming option as a rookie. McManus and Lucas Havrisik combined to record 123 points in 17 regular-season contests with the Packers last year.

The Packers are slated to release McManus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The move follows the team's selection of Trey Smack in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, with fellow kicker Lucas Havrisik also currently on Green Bay's roster. During the 2025 regular season, McManus went 24-for-30 on field-goal attempts and 32-for-33 on extra-point tries in 14 games. McManus, who turns 35 in July, thus represents an option for teams looking to bring in veteran kicking competition ahead of training camp.

The Colts signed Pare as an undrafted free agent Thursday.

Pare will get a chance to prove himself at the Colts' minicamp beginning Friday. The running back completed his collegiate career at Texas State in 2025, registering 1,128 yards and 12 touchdowns on 210 carries while also catching 37 of 41 targets for 312 yards and two scores over 13 contests. The No. 2 running back role behind starter Jonathan Taylor could be up for grabs, and Pare will look to throw his hat in the ring.

The Colts signed Horton as an undrafted free agent Thursday.

Horton finished his collegiate career at Purdue in 2025, catching 27 of 49 targets for 289 yards over 11 contests. The wide receiver will look to make a strong impression on the Colts during the team's rookie minicamp beginning Friday.

The Falcons signed Velling as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Velling wrapped his collegiate career with Michigan State in 2025, reeling in 36 of 45 targets for 359 yards and three touchdowns. The tight end possesses a 6-foot-5, 245-pound frame, and he'll look to compete with Charlie Woerner, Joshua Simon and Brandon Frazier for a reserve role on Atlanta's 53-man roster in 2026.

The Falcons signed Anthony as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Anthony caught 31 of 54 targets for 391 yards and a touchdown while also adding 27 yards and two scores on five carries over 12 contests at Wisconsin in 2025. More notably, the wide receiver compiled 446 yards and a touchdown on 16 kickoff returns, and his best path towards making the Falcons' 53-man roster is likely as a special-teams asset.

Jennings and the Vikings agreed on a one-year, $13 million contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jennings will head to Minnesota after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the 49ers, five of which were as a member of the team's active roster. The wide receiver most recently caught 55 of 90 targets for 643 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns over 15 regular-season games in 2025. He now will join a Vikings roster that has a pair of top players in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as anchors in the WR room, but Jennings' presence will give the team a formidable trio at the position.

Hilton signed with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent Thursday.

Hilton was a four-star recruit in LSU's 2021 class alongside Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas, but his career never took off, partly due to injuries. The 23-year-old wide receiver never posted more than 243 receiving yards in a season through five years at LSU. Still, Hilton ran a 4.41 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, so he could at least make some noise on special teams en route to a potential roster spot.

The Jets waived Hartwig (undisclosed) with a failed physical designation Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

It's unclear exactly what Hartwig is dealing with. If the offensive lineman -- who joined the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Purdue last May -- clears waivers, he'll land on injured reserve.
